Carey walked into Zack's hospital room to find him pouting on the bed. He wasn't thrilled at the situation he was in or what has just flooded out into the open in front of his mother. When she entered he just stared blankly at the not looking in here direction for fear that her gaze had turned into one the could even turn the all mighty medusa into stone.
"Hey" he grumbled as she walked in and sat down.
"That was something Zack." She said with a voice that told Zack that the storm was coming "so I had a little talk with Cody"
"Really and what did he say" Zack grunted.
"He told me a lot of neat and interesting things. However I wanted to hear what you had to say before I did anything" she said.
"There's nothing else to tell. Whatever Cody told you was the truth" he replied. Carey sighed dejectedly.
"Well then if you don't have anything else to add I guess I'll just start talking then. I guess I'll start out with that violent attack you just did. You had no right to attack Dustin like that Zack. He has done nothing to you and he didn't deserve that. You had the poor boy in tears, all he wants is for us to like him and you go and do something like that to him. You should be ashamed, I thought I raised you better than that" she said as the anger came through in her voice.
"Well I don't like him and he had no right to be here this was a personal family matter" Zack shot back.
"Yes it was a personal family matter Zack. He had every right to be here" she said in retort.
"What do you mean he is NOT family" Zack responded.
"To Cody he is and will be" she said.
"What do you mean" Zack asked. He looked confused and almost horrified by what the answer may be.
"Think about it Zack. The second thing is how on earth could you do all that crap to you brother. Not only did you sell him and get him raped you took advantage of him afterwards as well. Not to mention that the incestuous involvement between the two of you is a bit odd. All of that however I can over look. You love your brother and that's fine but to rape him Zack. The fact that you raped your own brother, the one you said you supposedly love that's just low. How do you not even feel guilty about that" Carey said full of rage.
"You know what mom I did feel guilty about it" Zack shot at her "why do you think I'm here. Do you even know what I overdosed on or why. I overdosed on antidepressants and pain medication. I felt so horrible after I did that to him. I couldn't stand it. I just needed something to block it out, to take away the pain I caused him. I hurt him, myself and you. Even now I wish the ambulance had come to late to save me" Zack yelled with anger as he sobbed. Just then the two heard footsteps rapidly enter the room. They saw Cody walk over to the bed in silence. The silence was only broken by the sound that emerged as Cody's hand met Zack's face. As soon as the hit went through Cody grabbed Zack's night gown.
"Don't you dare" Cody spat "don't you dare say that again. How can you be that selfish. Do you know how much mom worried about you. How much I worried about you. To say you would throw your life away because you feel guilty. Zack it may take time but eventually I will forgive you for what you've done. However if you ever say or do anything like this again I will hate you for the rest of my life" Cody spat through gritted teeth. He pushed Zack against the bed and walked out of the room. Zack's eyes filled with tears and he began to sob. Carey got up and left the room leaving her son to think. When she walked back into the lobby she sat down next to Dustin and Cody. She looked at the two boys together and laughed. As she laughed the Cody gave her a strange look
"What's so funny" he asked.
"I still can't believe all of this" she responded. She was met with another confused look.
"You know Cody" she said "never in a million years would I have thought that my son would get a boyfriend before I did." They both laughed. Carey and Cody sat their talking for an hour or so until Dustin stirred from his sleep. His eyes were still red and puffy from the crying.
"Morning" he said.
"Did you sleep well" Cody asked kissing the boys head.
"Are you feeling better" Carey asked.
"Yes thank you" he responded to both of them. Carey got up
"Well I'm going to go check on Zack. You to go home. I assume you will want to resume your activity before I called you here and I don't want you staying up to late" she said.
"What do you mean mom" Cody asked.
"Next time you come out Cody make sure you wear a shirt and he wears underwear" she said with a wink before walking away and causing the two boy to blush then laugh.
